What took you so long to pick up the tickets, I waited so long that the flowers have wilted (meaning you waited a long time).

Just as I picked up the tickets the staff insisted I buy 3D glasses, saying that it is not available for free now.
又没有提前提醒要自带眼镜现在电影院都那么过分的吗

There was no reminder to bring your own glasses beforehand, are cinemas too much now?
我就是觉得这是在巧立名目仗着人已经到这里了如果不买就看不了电影就像买珍珠奶茶不给吸管一样过分

I think this is a clever way to get people to buy the glasses taking advantage that you’re already there and can’t watch the movie without the glasses. It like buying bubble milk tea but without providing a straw.
